“Contraception” is Murder, a weak, pathetic
response to baby murder, is sent out at least once a month. If the gestapo hasn’t jailed you yet for
defending the innocent realistically, you either have to tell me you want it or
go to the website. Emails are free but
snail-mail is free only for PFCs, two grand for others.
I think
we can all agree there is nothing peaceful, nonviolent, or prolife about
letting innocent children be killed. So I believe we should examine every
legitimate means, including force, in our attempt to protect children from
being tortured to death. I want to hear from people who’ve been forceful and
from those who defend them. I’d also like to hear from those who oppose the
prolife use of force and call it violence.

The words of old soldiers never die:
In 2007 Jim appealed that sentence in federal
court. Unfortunately, the Catholic judge
Arcara would not allow Jim to use his statement from 2003. Arcara said, among other things, that Jim was
“bared from stating . . . moral reasoning for his actions.”
Yep, that’s what he said!
Then he increased Jim’s sentence to “life
imprisonment plus ten years” just to make the bizarre bazarrer.
Here’s the part of Jim’s statement that
scared hell into the judge, and, I wish, out of me:
“Abortion is
terrorism, by scale, and by the indiscriminateness of its attack on the weak,
helpless, and innocent. Force against [abortionists] , by contrast, is very specific,
limited, and targets a preeminently non-innocent, guilty person, always with
the goal of saving innocent human life.
So who is the terrorist? . . .
“Abortionists
need protection to kill harmless children.
Anyone who provides protection to mass [killers] . . . whether under the cover of law or not, is
participating in murder.”
Jim goes on to say that he himself had been participating
in murder because for “. . . twenty
years I have walked up and down the streets of America walking by those abortion
mills . . .”, and he quotes John Paul II,
“If the laws of the state are manifestly at variance with the Divine
Law, then to resist becomes a positive duty, to obey a crime.”
Bingo, it hit me! I realized that I have walked up and down the
streets of America right past those abortion mills for forty years! I myself have been participating in
murder! Me! Of all people!
If Jimbo had been part of the problem, I am
now twice that!
What about you?

The Day Free Speech Died in Winter Park, Florida
Michele Herzog
Could it really happen in
America? Could three citizens be arrested on the public sidewalk for reading a
Bible, having a camera and holding a "Celebrate Life" sign? I
want to believe that this would not and could not happen in the country I love
so dearly, but yesterday it did.
The city of Winter Park Florida thought that these three American citizens, were dangerous enough that they called in the city Swat team to body search, hand cuff and arrest fellow prolifers and friends Jay Rogers, Professor Pat McEwen, and Cheryl Bishoff. They were then taken to the Orange County Jail for booking.
So why did this city find it necessary to go to such measures to arrest three Christians on a public sidewalk? Let's go back to last August when a group of peaceful Christians took to the streets and held a public witness in the neighborhood and residence of the newly promoted CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando, Jenna Tosh. On a side note , this particular center performs on an average of over 100 abortions per week!
Almost immediately city commissioners of Winter Park went to the aide of Jenna Tosh and passed a 60-day emergency ban on residential picketing aimed at a specific home. Later, commissioners approved in a 4-1 vote an ordinance that would make the ban permanent, not without the packed house of concerned citizens expressing their utter dismay and opposition to this ban that prohibits free speech. Mayor Ken Bradley was the only dissenting vote, expressing his opposition to the ban siting it unconstitutional.
Since then, prolifers have gone back to publicly witness and share the truth of abortion in the neighborhood with police coming, telling the Christians they must leave, but never with the threat of arrest. The police on both occasions seemed to be confused as to what the ordinance really enacted.
Which led to yesterday's Awareness Campaign leading to the arrests of my friends, who love the Lord with all their heart, mind and soul. While they sat in the jail, we all stood outside of the jail holding signs, worshiping the Lord and praying that God would protect our brother and sisters in Christ and use them for the time they would be behind bars in jail, and that HE did!
This is only the beginning, but I believe with all my heart that this is what Jesus meant when He said to be the salt and light of the earth. Please pray with us down here in Central Florida that God will use these unjust arrests to bring God glory and to challenge this ordinance that bans American citizens from their first amendment rights of free speech!

Ramey comments:
"Free Speech" has not been so much
"taken away"; it was given away in the 1980s and 90s when churches
allowed Christian protesters to be marginalized, sued and jailed for speech
activity. Most court trials involved a mere smattering of faithful
Christian witnesses/observers (God bless them!) in the courtrooms; many
churches and church organizations around the country either joined in the
condemnation of activists, or they chose to be silent. "It was [our]
ministry" to have speech trampled underfoot, a pastor stated.
When churches do all they can to squash
speech from Christian protesters and apologetes, both in the congregation
and in the public arena, how can we blame the world for taking a shot at it as
well?
This is what
is happening in Florida.
Caught
my eye for sure because I’ve been holding prayer vigils outside the homes of baby killers for
forty-three years. Cops have always
treated me fairly, and I’m wondering why.
Maybe because I don’t picket, I hold prayer vigils? Maybe because no one has joined me? Maybe because I first tell them what I am
about to do?
It couldn’t be that the sign I hold, A KILLER LIVES HERE, is more
acceptable to them than pictures of pulled-apart young people because I hold
those pictures too when I visit the home of the “Jenna Tosh” in our area.
Just maybe, though, the day is coming.
If the day is coming, as most readers of this newsletter seem to think
(check the comments on the statement of the ClearNote Church in the last issue),we can know what we will face
because our neighbors to the south faced that a hundred years ago.

Neal
takes on Jonathan, Mark, and Ken:
John, I think this exchange with a pro-lifer who
seems satisfied he has fought the “good fight” over the past forty years is
very instructive about the real chasm that exists between people who have spent
their lives fighting legalized abortion and those who have only spent their
tithe.
The exchange begins with Jonathan O’Toole on
Facebook.
Jonathan: God took their
"inalienable" civil rights away from the Canaanites when he
authorized their slaughter, God let the Turks envelop the eastern half of
Europe, God sold his own people into Babylonian captivity. God can alienate us
from our inalienable rights because they are inalienable only with reference to
everyone but the Creator. My point is that we have no reason to expect His help
in defending our rights when we (the richest generation of
Christians
in history) failed to use our resources to defend the pre-born for 40 years and
counting.
Mark Cunningham is an long-time
pro-lifer. He answered Jonathan by referring to a pro-life article that
read: On the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion,
pro-lifers have something to celebrate: the closure of 1,500 abortion clinics
over the past 22 years...In 1991 there were 2,176 surgical abortion clinics
nationwide; today there are 660 and
falling. Over 1,500 abortion clinics, 70% of the total, have closed their doors
for good...In 2012, an average of 7 abortion clinics closed each month...”
“Abortion has been legal for 40 years this
month, and 57 million babies have paid with their lives. While the pro-life
movement has not ended all abortions yet, it has made some significant
progress.” said Ken Brady, president of Planned Childhood Life....
“Five states: Arkansas, Mississippi, Wyoming,
North and South Dakota, have only one clinic each...The city of Chattanooga,
Tennessee has no abortion clinic. Pro-lifers closed both clinics 20 years ago.
It is the largest city in the nation without an abortion clinic. For more than
half of the 40 years in which abortion has been legal, there is one city that
has been abortion-free." he concluded.
I responded to Mark: Mark, you act like
a willingness to resist evil in itself is tantamount to repentance. A heroin
addict might want to resist, but as long as the heroin addict keeps putting
heroin in his body, he has not truly repented no matter how much he wants to
resist his addiction. That's the way it is with every Christian in this nation
except for the people who have either died or are in prison for resisting
legalized abortion. All the rest of us are collaborating with the murderers
that are occurring today. As long as you
rationalize how you're some kind of good example because you've wanted abortion
to be outlawed, you stand as an example of a soldier who claims to have joined
the army but refuses to fight: kill or be killed. And that's exactly what the
men of God in the USA have done in the face of legalized abortion. That's the
truth about men of God in the USA. Even men like Mike Bray and all his ilk have
rationalized how their decision to withdraw from the actual blood and guts
battle was the will of God. That's a lie that blames God finally for our
collaboration. That's not only a lie; it's blasphemy. The only reason I can
speak without a defiled conscience is God gave me this strategy to spend my
life implementing: http://www.aogusa.org Those who refuse to
implement it are just as unrepentant as the most unrepentant abortionist
working in this land.
See
why I think the exchange is significant?

Ah, you can learn so much from vocal killers’ helpers like Ilyse
Hogue, president of NARAL. Yesterday I
learned the names of the two prolife politicians they fear most these days –
Todd Akin and Ken Cuccinelli. Gotta help those boys! And today I learned what prolife organization
they fear most: “Susan B. Anthony List is
an extreme anti-choice political group that has its sights set on becoming the
NRA of the anti-choice movement.”
Let’s
look at a recent email from SBAL to see why
killers’ helpers consider it Enemy #1:
Hello -- Abortionists like Kermit Gosnell and
Douglas Karpen are more common than you think.
They’re aren’t exceptions, they’re the rule. Unsafe conditions and barbaric practices in
abortion clinics are an epidemic, not a random occurrence. The blood splattered walls and freezers full of
children do not just exist in a few clinics in Pennsylvania and Texas.
They’re in clinics across the nation from Illinois to Virginia.
Every day SBA
List uncovers more clinics around the country and adds them to our fact sheet of negligence and brutality. It
falls to us to expose the abortion industry’s inhumanity because pro-abortion
politicians and their allies in the mainstream media refuse to acknowledge the
horror shows.
At SBA List, we know the multi-state breakdown of oversight of the abortion industry has gone on for too long. Many states have not enacted or enforced basic regulations for abortionists across the country, and vulnerable women suffer the consequences of their inaction.
States have left the abortion industry to regulate itself, and across the board it has led to disaster. They refuse to acknowledge that abortionists are driven by one goal: make as much money as possible by ending lives and hurting women at high prices.
This has to change, and SBA List is taking the lead to get it done.
We cannot allow Kermit Gosnell conditions and practices across the country to go unnoticed. The abortion industry knows no bounds and no borders, and we’ve discovered a frightening trend. The worst abortionists cross into states that don’t enforce regulations on abortion. For instance, did you know that Kermit Gosnell also worked in a clinic in Delaware that the state never inspected?
Not only that, but we’ve identified several other abortionists like Gosnell who still perform abortions today even after numerous victims and staff members have come forward to their state governments:

Not only that, but we’ve identified several other abortionists like Gosnell who still perform abortions today even after numerous victims and staff members have come forward to their state governments:
Douglas Karpen still practices abortions in
Houston, TX even after his former staff members released the photos of viable
babies from failed abortions whose necks had been wrung.
Leroy Carhart still practices abortions
in Nebraska and Maryland even after his negligence likely led to the death of
Jennifer Morbelli.
You might
recognize Douglas Karpen from that list, but you probably didn’t read about him
from major news networks. The state of Texas has started an investigation, but
like with most abortionists, the Texas Medical Board has already dismissed his
abuses.
These men need to see justice. They need to be stopped. And, we have to act.
We must demand that Congress and state legislatures stop turning a blind eye. That’s why the SBA List is producing a running fact sheet of negligence and brutality. It’s up to us to educate Americans and lawmakers – and demand action.
It will only be a matter of time before the national abortion network starts to collapse. If we can continue to expose Gosnell-like practices and conditions across the country, we can force Congress and state legislatures to take action and save lives.
We can’t do this alone. We’ve compiled the information and spread the word as far as we can, but you need to take the next step. Share our fact sheet of negligence today to help us expose the abortion industry and demand action. For Life, Marrjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List

So whadaya think, especially you,
Tobra? SBAL wants us to send them our
money!

Another voice for John:
I really believe John Burt should be on
the prisoners list.
Despite the allegations and the jury conviction, I still believe John to be innocent of those charges. Instead, he was intentionally taken down by evil people.
They aren't brave enough to pick on strong men; they went after an elderly man who had never had such an accusation ever lodged against him like that.
I imagine if he dies soon, it will be of a broken heart.

Letters dealing with “The Gregory Holt
Affair” appear in the May 1 and May 2 issues of this newsletter. Here’s more:
Greg,
Hadritak (sir)
Ahlan wa sahlon! (Hello and welcome!)
This letter is an
attempt to rectify any misunderstandings or hostilities that might be in the air
regarding my correspondence to you.
I thought I had
put to rest any doubts about whether I was a Christian or not in my letter last
year to Don Spitz on the matter. Then I
saw a notation by my name in John Dunkle’s
newsletter that indicated that I was a “Prisoner For Allah.” In my anger I
attributed this to you when I wrote to Mr. Dunkle to get that removed. If I was in error on this, I sincerely apologize
to you. My whole point of my last letter
to you was to show you that you were incorrect about some aspects of Islam and to help you get a clearer understanding
of the Saloaf. Your response left a lot
to be desired, so I “stepped off my square” temporarily and reverted to my
ex-jihadist self and tried to show you how real it could get for you if a
mujahid decided to take offense to you.
I am sorry for that, and I ask for your forgiveness. Also I never intended for you and Tobra to
get into a scrum behind it. I was
incensed that the Muslim notation was put by my name after I went to such
lengths to put that to rest. I was
concerned about Tobra and others seeing that and thinking that I had lied to
her or them. You can imagine what would
have happened at that point. If I had
not addressed that to Tobra, we would
have fallen off, not to mention all of those who had assumed I was a Christian.
I ask that you forgive
me, and I hope that you “still have time for me.” Please put me back on your mailing list. Also, can you sent me January, February, April,
and May issues of your newsletter in that I did not receive them. Please send me some more bookmarks and those
with the pre-born baby on them so I can distribute them.
I look forward to
hearing from you, and I trust that we can put that to rest and get past this. I
admire and respect you.
Hujambo wa
Asante! (Good Day and good bye) Gregory
Dan, I asked
before and I ask now, why is Mr. Holt on the Prisoner of Christ list?
In my own
research I find some mention of terroristic threats in 2003 while he was
imprisoned on another matter. I have no information as to what those threats
were about. He was free for sometime after this and was re-arrested in 2009 on
charges for which he is serving a life plus sentence.
I cannot find Mr.
Holt’s last letter to me, perhaps I threw it away. I don’t think I was mistaken
about his reconversion to Islam. But suppose I am mistaken. Suppose that Mr.
Holt is a true and genuine Christian. Is he what we refer to as a Prisoner of
Christ?
When and how did Mr. Holt become a Christian?
Mr. Holt’s
letters still smack of Islam. I wonder if I might lead him in sort of a “Sinner’s
Prayer.”
Mr. Holt, do you
reject Satan and his minions?
Mr. Holt, do you
believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate; i.e. in the flesh?
Mr. Holt, do you
believe there is salvation in any other name but in the name of Jesus Christ?
Mr. Gregory Holt,
Abdu Maalik Muhammad: Do you renounce the false god Allah?
Do you renounce
that lying imposter Mohammad?
Do you renounce
his lying claim to be a prophet of God?
Do you renounce
Islam the lying prophet’s false religion?
Write this
renunciation in your own words Mr. Holt, and I will reconsider my exclusion of
you on my mail list.
Michael,
Good point, Dan. I have received a letter from him and have not
replied yet. I don’t know that “Mighty Men” deed he has done to merit the
POC
Tobra,
Dear Mr. Dunkle, I hope
you will publish this letter.
Greg is a human
being.
You gentlemen that are cutting down Greg
have told the babykillers how much Christ loves them, therefore I
think you gentlemen need to be kind to Greg as you have been to the
babykillers, Greg is prolife after all.
Basically writing
off a prolifer because his answers do not fit into your criteria of acceptable.
Shooting your own wounded is not
Christianity.
Next time it could be you in supermax looking at
life and folks you write decide to treat you worse than a serial killing
abortionist.
Guys, I am really upset at your letters and
attitudes toward my brother in Christ Greg Holt.
Then
again Dan Holman is the one who got these lies and gossips and
rumors started against Greg.
It's
not the first time Dan has pulled this holier than thou attitude.
And our boy Dan
is the same man who solicits funds to vacation around the country while claiming to
be "saving babies" and "spreading the truth" or whatever
catch phrase sound good in his fundraising letters.
Dan, I never accused Mr. Holt of not being a human
being, or being pro-life.
I will make you a
deal Vicki, produce one of my fundraising letters and I will admit that you are
right about me. If you cannot produce a solicitation of money from me you must
apologize for slandering me.
Me, How’d I
get in the middle of this scrum.

Sweat
sent Jimbo three articles recently, and Jimbo issued orders:
. . . Hey could you do me a massive
favor? Could you send the
Slattery and the Dolan and the exorcism pieces to dr. John, professor of
english, and send a note that I recommend he print them up, or relevant
parts? they are very very very relevant to skyp. . .
Obviously, Cal of skyp was on to something,
and this helps elucidate it. . .
I’ll
post most of the Ann Barnhardt’s Dolan piece, some of Gerard O’Connell’s exorcising
one, and a summary of Chris Slattery’s latest problems
First, Ann --In case you haven't heard, Dolan
and the Archdiocese of New York have been happily covering contraception, sterilization and
abortion through their health insurance program all along. So, yeah, Dolan will
never, ever take any of this into court because they would be laughed out the
door post haste.
And here's the very unpleasant truth that,
again, everyone is dancing around but nobody wants to face: Dolan and the rest
of his ilk, which includes most of the bishops today, don't actually believe
the Church and see no problem with the grave mortal sin of contraception, and
beyond that, most of these men find abortion to be merely distasteful, but
certainly nothing to go severing relationships with high-ranking politicians
and celebrities over. We can't be disinvited from our Manhattan and Georgetown
cocktail parties, now can we?
This business of viewing abortion not as a
wholesale slaughter and holocaust against children, not as the macro-crime
against humanity, not as the intolerable sin crying out for God's vengeance
that it is, is very common among not just bishops and priests today, but also
among so-called "conservatives."
The republican party (I spit upon its grave) is folding on abortion and
sodomy. Why? Because most of these godless psychopaths involved in politics
really, if you pin them down, don't have much of a problem with black people
and white trash self-culling half of their population before they are even
born. All they care about is money and power, power and money.
The same goes for the neo-con Catholics,
which is to say Catholics who call themselves conservative, but just LURV the
superfun rockband uber-effeminate Novus Ordo Mass and culture. These are the
people I rail about who have superfun social outings in which they walk in a
two mile circle and then have a fabulous lunch and pass out narcissistic
participation t-shirts ... to "stop abortion." Give me a large,
personal break, Kathy. Declare a tax strike and then get back to me about how
much you are personally consumed by the horror of abortion. Uh-huh.
Bottom line: God is very, very angry with His
people for their heresy, apostasy and lukewarmness at best, and thus we are all
being cursed with men like Timothy Dolan. Yes. Timothy Dolan and all like him,
are a curse and a scourge upon the Church and society as a whole, because as
the Church goes, so goes the world.
"The
most evident mark of God's anger, and the most terrible castigation He can
inflict upon the world, is manifest when He permits His people to fall into the
hands of a clergy who are more in name than in deed, priests who practice the
cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted
shepherds. They abandon the things of God to devote themselves to the things of
the world and, in their saintly calling of holiness, they spend their time in
profane and worldly pursuits. When God permits such things, it is a very
positive proof that He is thoroughly angry with His people and is visiting His
most dreadful wrath upon them." Saint John Eudes
Second, Gerard--When Pope Francis laid
his hands on a young man in a wheel chair, in St Peter’s Square, at the end of
mass on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, many people at first thought he had actually
carried out an exorcism. The Vatican flatly denied that, however, and
said the pope had simply prayed over the man. The priest who accompanied
the man also confirmed this.
But one thing is certain, the man claims to
be possessed by demons, and says he has been tormented in this state for the
past 14 years. He revealed this May 22, in an exclusive interview in Rome with
Irene Hernandez Velasco, the correspondent of the Spanish daily, El Mundo.
The man, Angel V., a 43 year-old Mexican from
the state of Michoacán, is married with two young children, said some ten
exorcists, included the renowned Roman exorcist – Father Gabriel Amorth,
have tried but failed to liberate him from his terrible predicament.
Father Juan Rivas, who accompanied Angel to
Rome and was with him when he met the Pope, confirmed all this when he spoke to
El Mundo. He revealed that when the Pope met Angel, he told him,
“Holiness, this person needs a blessing, he has had more than 30 exorcisms and
the demons that live in him do not want to leave him.”
Fr. Rivas, a member of the Legionaries of
Christ, described what happened that Sunday. He said: “The Pope greeted Angel,
and he kissed the pontiff’s ring and in that instant fell into a trance. The
Pope then laid his hands on his head and at that moment a terrible sound was
heard (from him), like the roar of a lion. All those who were there heard it
perfectly well. The Pope for sure heard it, and his bodyguards heard it as did
a child who was at our side. But in spite of this horrific roar the Pope did
not let himself be moved; he continued with his prayer, as if he had faced similar
situations before.”
Angel listened to what Fr. Rivas told El
Mundo, and nodded his assent. He said he felt better now, and said the prayer
of Pope Francis made him feel much good. Significantly, El Mundo’s
correspondent noted that he came to the interview walking on his own two feet,
whereas he was on a wheelchair when he met the Pope.
Angel told El Mundo, “I still have the demons
inside me, they have not gone away!” He recalled the very first time the demons
entered into him, it was in 1999 when “I was returning home by bus from Mexico
D. F. to my birthplace in Michoacán state”. He felt that “an energy had
entered the bus. I did not see it with my eyes, but I perceived it. I noted
that it came close to me, and then stopped in front of me. Then, suddenly, I
noted that something like a stake pierced my chest and, little by little, I had
the sensation that it was opening my ribs” It felt like a heart attack, he
thought he would die.
From that moment on, he said, his health
started deteriorating: he vomited whatever he ate; he felt pains in his whole body, as if he was full of
needles; he began to have difficulty in walking, and breathed “I could not
sleep, and when I managed to sleep I had terrible nightmares connected with the
evil one”, he added. He began to fall into trances in which he
blasphemed, and spoke in unknown languages. [tbc]
Third,
Chris: The Chris Slattery pieces are in the May 29
issue of LifeSiteNews. Slattery has come
under fire because two influential New York killers’ helpers, Attorney General
Eric Schneiderman and Governor Andrew Cuomo, are determined to destroy all
opposition to legal baby killing, and Chris’s crisis pregnancy center,
“Expectant Mother Care” is a very effective opponent of those murders.
Years ago an attorney general got Chris to
agree that he would tell women who called EMC that they did not kill babies
there. The hope was that a woman looking
to kill would immediately hang up.
When that AG left office, Chris thought their
agreement ended as well. He stopped
saying they didn’t kill. Volunteers at
EMC now talk quietly and logically, often persuading the woman to change her
mind.
No one complained for seven years until Eric
and Andy teamed up and sent in the FBI.
Chris’s hearing is next week.
